📣 UK Survey on Breastfeeding & Breast Cancer Awareness

A UK‑wide study is underway to understand awareness of breastfeeding as a protective factor against breast cancer, along with public views on the use of breastmilk in cancer research.

The survey welcomes responses from the general public, healthcare professionals, parents, expectant parents, people with breastfeeding experience, and anyone affected by breast cancer.

If you can spare a few minutes, your input would be hugely appreciated.

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is holding a special Breast Screening Open Day this Thursday 18th June at Wythenshawe Forum.

Screening won’t be taking place on the day, but staff will be available to offer information and support.
